Can you get the phone into download mode at all? If so, fire up ODIN, use the same files you have above like this:
Put Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit in PIT
Put CODE_T959VUVKG4_CL385158_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5 in PDA
Put SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5 in CSC
Put T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar.md5 in PHONE
Let ODIN decide what check boxes need to be checked and reflash.
well, i couldn't at first. the screen was totally dark and will not boot. luckily a jig worked fine and put me in download mode. i just did the PDA file without the other and the phone seems to work. i wanted to go to another rom in oredr for kies to install me the stock 2.3.6 firmware.
i did install it with kies first last night, but it was failing to find any wifi networks at home for some unknown reason. i wanted to try to do it at work, but i need a rom that will let kies upgrade the firm. do you know which one is good. i was reading that putting KD1 so i downloaded PDA_KD1.tar.md5 but it seems that odin does not want to install it. any ideas?

Glad you got it working. Bear in mind that sometimes that the screen is black it will still be recognized by ODIN. Scary when it does that,though
I flashed back to KD1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063696) in order to update to the official 2.3.6 with Kies.
If you don't want to go the Kies route, you can use ODIN thanks to RaverX3X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353176 or (also thanks to Raver) CWM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351783).
The easiest thing would be to Odin ravers file in pda only.
Then you can Odin A kernel if you need one right away or wait for the next one and use stock.

i got tired of trying to figure out how to use adb as far as i got to was the command thing and got into android sdk tools but since my device is bootlooped i cant use debug mode there for it couldnt read my device so i did some research on my samsung admire and saw the odin mode flashing ur firmware so i thought oh cool well im in odin mode what is it downloading lol
Basically odin mode is when your phone is recognized by odin. When you have odin installed, your phone will be recognized by Odin when there is a yellow box with COM## (numbers dont matter), assuming you have all the proper drivers installed.
couldnt i download odin on my computer and put it on my sdcard using a cardreader then put the sd card back in my phone then go to system recovery and install iit from sdcard and it will fix my bootloop?
I doubt it, plus why would you want to anyways? Just seems like a whole bunch of extra, if not unnecessary steps. Easiest way to get into odin mode would be to have the proper drivers installed, put your phone into download mode, let Odin recognize your phone by showing a yellow box with a COM followed by any number, the you flashing whatever you need.
but im bootlooped i have to get stuff from my laptop and use a cardreader to put on my sdcard then install from sdcard in recovery
Odin is for windows
Odin doesn't go on the phone it's for your computer.
QUOTE:
You first and foremost need to download ODIN zip file from the XDA developer forum. You will be provided with the link. You can then extract the ODIN folder into your computer.
You can now use the data cable to connect your Samsung phone to your computer.
Put your Smartphone off and remove the battery.
Then you can turn the phone on whilst you hold down you Home, Power and the Decrease volume keys to go into the download mode.
You can now launch the ODIN on your computer. Then click Auto reboot. All together, you can click PIT and select the PIT file that is associated with the Android ROM that you are flashing using the ODIN android. You can now click PDA and make sure that you select the TAR file for the ROM.
Last but not least, you can click start to add the ROM to you Smartphone. Note that, the installation will be complete when the phone reboots automatically. You can then unplug the phone and enjoy the new changes.
this will work for my samsung admire and remove the bootloop?
it costs to download odin?

I guess nope!
I was messing with Terminal, trying to install Recovery through it, but i was using LG Thrill 4G commands, as i didnt pay attention in which board the thread is. What a dumbass i am.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1363132
Thats the thread i followed.
Now, i can get it in Download mode with the unbrickable resurrector, but the download mode image is tilted a bit towards the right side of the screen, and when i try any button combos while in download mode, it shuts it self off.
And i can only enter download mode with the resurrector, not possible through button combo.
I get recognized in Odin, but when i try to flash the Bootloader and the PIT file (i think its bad) supplied in your thread, i get:
There is no PIT partition log, and when i try to flash the stock rom without those 2 files, im stuck at Setup connection.
Do i need a special PIT file? I have the 16GB INTERNATIONAL version.
Do i need to tick "Re-partition" in odin?
Or should i send it to the repair shop, and pay 35$ for the repair, since i think they will say that this doesnt cover the warranty (I have the STOCK rom, but its rooted.Can they find out?)
IF POSSIBLE, can someone PROVIDE ME with a PIT. for Galaxy Player 5.0 INTERNATIONAL? (16GB)
you need pit pda and bootloader for your device ad check re partition in odin

Thanks, now i just need to fit the pit file
So I downloaded the stock files and tried to flash into odin and all I get is bad settings when I press start anyone help?
Screenshot might help
Baad settings what does that mean ???
Start on what phone or Odin .
Is the Odin file a tar file or md5 file .
jje
I dont think i have seen this before.
Be sure to exit kies, try a different usb socket and make sure you have the .tar file in the PDA slot..
I always use the odin from the i9300

wow!?!
Rest assured I've been flashing for a while and the solution was that my Odin's cfg got corrupted for some reason during a bad flash. I was getting the device ready for flash in Odin v3 1.85 then start get bad settings error then it would try to flash but nothing ever happened. Funny thing is that the counter was counting it every time. Odd but clean Odin worked
:highfive:
when i connect my SGS (SCH-I535) 3, running NC1, stock everything to Odin 3.09 i add the ML1.tar file to the AP box... the IDcom shows up and the "added" shows up in the info box... when i click start to flash the tar file it get stuck at Setup connection..then nothin.... wont go any further... i looked on google... i found an old link talkin about the port and cable or drivers... i reinstalled the drivers, got a new odin DL, changed the cable 3 times, changed the ports 3 times (i only have 3), phone is in down load mode... what am i missing ? ! ? I flashed NC1 2 weeks ago no problem... now i cant do jack with it thru ODIN 3.09...and then i DL'd 3.07, still no go...
all i wanna do is revert to ML1 so i can root...
update:
figured it out... pocket link in the charge port, not letting it connect fully... idiot!
I inherited a bricked AT&T Skyrocket and was very happy when I managed to get it into download mode by accident. But it didn't last long. Both Kies (2.6) and Odin (1.85) recognize the phone but fail to write to it. BTW, I used k0nane's thread file for the Odin flash. CWM failed to flash as well. Also, I tried different cables and different USB ports.
I have no idea how the original brick happened and I cannot do a hard reset. Besides the download mode, all I get is the Samsung logo or the battery charging.
I read somewhere that the next step should be a .pit file and a Nand re-partition but I can't find that thread again.
PS. Never mind the celox.pit approach. While I was able to Odin it, the ROM write failed after it.
Anybody got a link or some suggestion on what I can try next?
